Swallowing the Stars: Starting from the Endless Dungeon

Chapter 110 A Battle of Heroes

"There are 1008 universe nations, and each universe nation selects one thousand people, totaling more than one million geniuses. You have all come for the battle of geniuses."

The woman in purple robes stood in the void, looking down at the millions of geniuses below. She couldn't help but recall millions of years ago when she was still a Hengxing star. Back then, she was just like these little guys, standing here dreaming about the future. She was the champion of that year's Genius Battle, and she fought her way through all obstacles to achieve the position of Venerable.

"Our Virtual Universe Company will select the one thousand strongest individuals from among you and recruit them into the core of our Virtual Universe Company."

"A million of you are competing for these one thousand spots, and the rest will all be eliminated."

The rules are as follows.

"Tomorrow, each of you will enter a trial space. Our Virtual Universe Company has prepared more than a million trial spaces for you, one for each person."

"There are seven trial towers in the trial space! Each trial tower has seven floors!"

"Start with the first trial tower, conquer all seven levels, then move on to the second—and continue until you die and are kicked out of the trial space!"

"Calculate your scores based on your performance in the trial space."

"Those ranked 1st to 100th in points will be directly recruited as core members of our Virtual Universe Company without further screening, and will receive one of the 100 available spots."

"Those ranked 101st to 7300th will have a final battle in the arena to compete for 900 spots."

"As for those ranked 7300th and below—all of them will be eliminated!"

The purple-robed woman's words stunned the geniuses present who were hearing the rules for the first time. They hadn't expected that after going through so much trouble to enter the second stage of the genius battle, they would be in a better position. They hadn't expected the second stage to be so cruel!

Eliminating a million people right from the start, leaving only 7300, is incredibly cruel! Ninety-nine point ninety-nine percent of the participants are just there to make up the numbers!

This was completely different from what they had imagined. They were willing to believe that even if a genius like themselves were to be eliminated, it should be several steps later, rather than being eliminated right from the start.

However, due to the oppressive aura of the immortals, even if they had thoughts in their hearts, they dared not say anything at this moment. Everyone else was shocked by the rules, but Su Jing did not pay attention to the rules of the Genius Battle. Looking at the new system notification, [Scan complete, generating a copy————]

A copy has actually been generated!

It turns out that it's possible to generate copies in a virtual universe, but the conditions required are probably very high!

This is the Battle of Geniuses, a grand event that happens only once every five thousand years, and the instance can only be triggered here.

The Venerable Huanshui, representing the Virtual Universe Company, left after making a brief announcement.

The remaining geniuses could only return to the building to rest and prepare for tomorrow's assessment.

Su Jing was busy going back to study the dungeon. Even if the new dungeon was triggered, he did not plan to enter it during this time. After all, his consciousness was currently in the virtual universe, and the entire human race was paying attention to this situation. Immortals and universe venerables were all here. If his consciousness changed at the moment of entering the dungeon and was discovered, it would be difficult to explain. Therefore, he would just study the dungeon and did not plan to enter it.

Back in Room 1 of Building 0541, the room was very spacious. For example, a bed was ten meters long and six meters wide, enough to fit ten Su Jings. Of course, this was prepared for geniuses with enormous bodies.

Ignoring all that, Su Jing sat on the bed and began to study the newly appeared instance. The instance level was beyond his expectations. He originally thought that with a thousand immortals and venerables here, the instance level would be terrifyingly high. However, this instance did not include them at all. Only a million geniuses were included, which was consistent with the name of the instance, "Heroes Compete for Supremacy".

Seeing this, Su Jing couldn't help but admire him. After all, if he were given such a high-level dungeon, he wouldn't get any benefits in a short time. Now, with such a suitable dungeon, he could clear it quickly and get the rewards. As for those high-level dungeons, it would be very easy to trigger them once his strength increased. After seeing the level, the second thing that attracted him was the first-clear reward and the drops. The first-clear reward was the Time and Space Law Talent!

Upon seeing this reward, Su Jing's eyes lit up. It was practically tailor-made for him. What he lacked right now was the talent and affinity for higher-level laws, and now that was solved in an instant. He had experienced the value of first-clearance rewards far too many times!

He had already imagined how powerful his talent would become after clearing this dungeon for the first time. Even the higher-level laws would have no secrets from him. Suppressing the excitement in his heart, he then focused on the time and space law affinity among the dropped items. Although there was a talent boost from the first-clear reward, he wouldn't mind having more of these affinity bonuses, especially since they came from among the geniuses in the genius battle. Looking at the countless talents after the ellipsis, Su Jing couldn't suppress his smile anymore. In this wave, the most talented million-star human race members had contributed their talents. After fusing these, his various law affinity bonuses and talents would definitely reach the top level!

This is billions of times stronger than the talent he had planned to test in the World Lord's World!

After all, what level are the geniuses who participate in the trainee mercenary assessment in the world of the Realm Lord? And what level are the geniuses from various universe countries who participate in the final battle of the genius war?

The difference here is not just billions of times, but countless times, an immeasurable gap.

Taking two deep breaths, Su Jing finally suppressed the excitement in his heart. After all, this dungeon gave him an opportunity, an opportunity to maximize his talent. Although quantity cannot match quality after reaching a certain level, that was at a very high level. With such a large number of talents now, he was truly taking off!

Don't get arrogant, don't get arrogant. I'm still just a tiny ant. Thinking about the Venerable One I saw today, and the Immortal Zerg Queen in the dungeon, Su Jing immediately calmed down. It's true that his talent can reach the top level through this dungeon, but as everyone knows, a genius who dies halfway is meaningless!

If your talent improves but your strength doesn't, the chances of being assassinated are not low. Just like the human race's genius, Kodi, who was known as the number one genius for hundreds of millions of years!

He traversed the Primal Tongtian Mountain at the Cosmic Level, Domain Lord, and World Lord stages, experiencing miraculous and extraordinary encounters. The Chaos City Lord took him as a disciple, placing high hopes on him. But what was the final result? He was assassinated by the Zerg, unable even to resurrect. Such a genius is truly a pity.

So what if you have great talent? If you don't grow and develop, it doesn't matter. Only those who survive to the end are truly successful!

With that thought in mind, Su Jing no longer had any thoughts of getting cocky. He could wait until he was truly invincible in the primordial universe before he got cocky.

I didn't continue browsing the loot section. After all, there were millions of geniuses, and there were too many loot items to list. Some were resources and treasures they had used, some were talents, and some were their secret techniques and weapons. In short, anything that belonged to them could potentially be dropped.

Su Jing's gaze slowly moved upwards, and he pondered as he looked at the monster list. The system sorted the monsters according to their strength, and the current order was: Ellie, Ronan, Kyle —

What does this tell us?

This shows that Ronan, who was considered by everyone to be the number one in the genius battle, is actually only number two in strength. Of course, this does not include himself in the ranking, but it is still terrifying enough!

Ellie————

The genius of the Vast Kingdom crushed the entire Universe Kingdom with one person, and the only law he displayed was the Law of Wind. However, the first item he dropped was the Law of Time. It seems that this person is hiding his true strength!

He must have comprehended the laws of time, and was even stronger than Ronan, yet he was ranked first by the system. This is something that probably no one expected!

And then there's Kyle, ranked third. While Ellie, ranked first, has some fame and is considered a strong contender, Kyle really doesn't have much of a reputation. Su Jing thought for a while before recalling Kyle's information: he was just an ordinary genius from one of the top 1,000 in the universe. But now that Kyle is ranked third, it doesn't make sense that he's just an ordinary genius. The geniuses behind him are more normal: Yuri the Mind Controller, the Celestial Dragon Clan, and other top ten favorites. This time, there's probably going to be a huge upset. First, Ellie, who only had the strength of a top ten contestant, jumped to first place, and then the unknown Kyle took the top ten. Of course, none of this was factored in. With his current strength, entering the top ten shouldn't be a problem. As for going further up, he doesn't have much confidence. It all depends on the battles on the arena. After all, the specific battles might give him a chance to win.

After reading through all the information in the dungeon, Su Jing slowly stood up and went to the window. Looking at the small groups of geniuses gathered outside discussing, he breathed a sigh of relief. This genius battle was too interesting. Two dark horses appeared in the top ten. No, if you include him, there are three. It's a pity that he doesn't have much money on him right now, and he is not allowed to contact the outside world after entering here. Otherwise, he would definitely have bet most of his wealth on Ellie. This is definitely a big upset!

However, he wasn't too short of money, since there was an unlimited amount of Chaos Yuan waiting for him in the dungeon. As long as he could kill Pansy and the ninth-tier Iron Vine Grass of the Domain Lord, he could get it.

As for whether the price of Kro God Water will decrease due to excessive supply, this will never happen. Kro God Water has too many uses; it's a perfect treasure for cultivating plant life. Therefore, it will never be in short supply, unless the entire human race has no shortage of plant life. If that day ever comes, his strength will likely have reached a very high level. At that time, he won't care about simple Chaos Realm cultivation, but rather about precious treasures and supreme treasures. What is hard currency? This is the hard currency among the strong. Precious treasures and supreme treasures undoubtedly meet this standard. Treasures that can increase gene multipliers are also hard currency, as these can directly enhance a strong person's strength, so they will never be outdated!
